After an amazing win
for the Falcons Sunday, pizza and beer (two game day essentials) are on
everyone’s mind. Hearth Pizza Tavern is certainly serving up scrumptious
wood-fired, oven-baked pizzas, and dishing out additional lip-smacking
delights. Those beloved Philly rolls are back on the Hearth Specials menu for
$7. Picture center-cut sirloin steak, fontina and cheddar, caramelized onions
and shiitake mushrooms hand-rolled into a light, flaky spring roll and joined
by smoky, homemade ketchup, pepperoncini and pickles.

Even
beer lovers can’t resist the cocktails at Hearth Pizza Tavern. Tuesday and
Thursday night’s "Five for $5" martinis and margaritas prove fancy
flavors and frugality can play on the same team. Tuesday nights, Absolut is the
first ingredient in all five featured martinis: Down and Dirty with its
olive-y bite; Red Dragon doused with raspberry liqueur and cranberry juice; Sweet
Cinnamon bearing Absolut Vanilla and RumChata; Just Peachy with its Peachtree
schnapps; and Pucker Up, a kissable shake up adding fresh lemon juice, triple
sec and simple syrup to Absolut Citron. Thursday 'ritas spin out tequila treats
such as the SuperFruit blend of VeeV Acai Spirits, Tequila Blanco, fresh lime
and agave; Grapevine twists tequila with triple sec, sour mix and grape juice;
St. Rita canonizes Tequila Blanco with St. Germain and fresh lime; fresh lime
and agave nectar sweeten TanteoJalapeño Tequila in the Spicy Jalapeño; and
Tropical Fruit adds a dose of Cointreau, fresh lime and cranberry juices plus
agave nectar to Tanteo Tropical Tequila. I sure hope these pass for fruit salad
in a glass!
